Crockpot Honey Mustard Chicken

I love a good crockpot recipe. This one is adapted from a cookbook called 365 Ways to Cook Chicken. It was originally done in the oven, but the crockpot is often more convenient. By changing just one ingredient I was able to turn it into a crockpot recipe. (Check out 6 Tips to Convert Recipes for Use in the Crockpot.) Now it only has 3 ingredients, plus salt and pepper and prep time is less than 5 minutes. How can you beat that?

Hello fellow SITSTA. I made this today–thanks so much for posting it! (I used to make this years ago in the oven, had not made it for years, and never in a crockpot!) It turned out great in the crockpot today, and even my picky son loved it. (I had to use regular mustard because I didn’t have any Dijon. But it was still really good.)
Thanks again!

Chelle, the recipe for making it in the oven called for butter as well as the other ingredients. Use 1/2 cup melted butter mixed with the honey and dijon mustard. Bake the chicken for about 1 hour at 350 degrees, basting it every 15 minutes with the sauce. I don’t always do that much basting though.

I just made this dish tonight and it was delish! I got a “thumbs up” from my husband and son.

Also, I’d like to give you a great big THANKS for putting this blog together. I am a busy full time college student/2nd grade teacher, and wife and mother, which means I don’t have much time to think about what to cook or what to buy. This website has been such a blessing to my family.

Sorry to say this turned out terrible for me… I ended up not being a big fan of the sauce as much as I love Dijon and honey mustard, but it would have been edible had my new crock pot not have gone to $#!+. The last recipe I did turned out fine, but I was around keeping an eye on it unlike today. My chicken (frozen when I put it in) was done after close to 4 hours on LOW and I put it on the “warm” option since it was only 1 o’clock. Little did I know the warm option would keep the sauce simmering and continue to cook it. Arg!! The crock pot must be many many degrees to high to have done this… And my husband was looking fwd to getting home after a 14 hours day and having yummy moist chicken.

I think so… another review on Bed Bath and Beyond said the same thing. I returned it immediately after pulling the chicken out and bought a different. Trying a pot roast today in the new cooker since there aren’t any left overs from yesterday.

Just want to say that my four year old mad this (i handled the chicken) and everyone loved it! She was very proud of herself and has been requesting to make it again. I used boneless chicken breasts and cooked it for 3 hours on high and served with brown rice and steamed broccoli. yummy and healthy! thanks for a new and easy family favorite!

I know that this post is a few years old and there is a slim chance that anyone will respond, but am I really supposed to cook this for 6-8 hours on high? Usually that length of time is on a low setting.. just curious before I make this.. thanks

Sarah, Different slow cookers cook at different temps. It also depends on how full you have the crock. I usually say 7-8 on low or 5-6 on high, but will go longer for chicken with bones. You know your cooker best though. Hope that helps.

This looks tasty! I have been trying to think of some new crock-pot meals that would be tasty even when the weather warms up. This looks like a great contender for an easy, weeknight meal! Thanks for sharing!

I am sorry to ask since this post is so old is there a time for chicken breast??? I work a lot and my husband is not allowed to cook (after serving me raw chicken not once not twice but 3 times….) I learned my lesson!! He really only likes white meat with no bone

Jessica, if you’re cooking boneless chicken breast cook it for 5-6 hours on high or 7-8 on low. It will cook faster if you don’t have the crock filled very full, so you may want to adjust for that to avoid over cooking.

I had a problem with the long cooking time on high. I used bone-in chicken thighs, so I stuck with the cooking time recommended. It was way too long on high. The chicken actually tasted good, but it looked quite unappealing – pretty blackened, and the outer part was quite dry and tough. I think 6-8 hours on low might have been better.
